Braised Lamb Recipe

Published 6 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I'm a fan of the Cava restaurant, where they have the most flavorful braised lamb bowls with all those fresh toppings and sauces.

This is not their exact braised shredded lamb recipe (I don’t know what they put in theirs), but this one? Oh my goodness. It’s so good.

This braised lamb has become one of my favorite recipes to make when I want something I can stretch. I cook a big batch, use it in bowls for a few days, and freeze the rest for later. It’s one of those base recipes that makes future meals easier. Some of my favorite ways to use it:

  • Over rice or grains with a simple cucumber-and-tomato mix or sauteed spinach​
  • With a lemon vinaigrette or lime vinaigrette​
  • Add hummus or baba ganoush if you want it extra good
  • Or, honestly, whatever fresh things you have on hand

It’s flavorful, comforting, and flexible. It's the kind of recipe that works for dinner tonight and your freezer.

​A Favorite Pot for Making this Braised Lamb​

As seen in the video, I suggest using a heavy bottomed dutch oven for braising this lamb in the oven. I love this one, as it's reasonably priced and it's gorgeous.

Happy Cooking,

beef stew in bowl with spoon picking it up

Hi Reader, My husband's heading to Ghana soon, and the other day he mentioned wanting to get a good steak while he's there. I had to tell him, "Babe, I don't think that's really a thing there." It got me thinking about how I grew up. We didn't eat steak. If we had beef at all, it was in stews, portioned out so everyone got some, stretched with a flavorful gravy, served with rice or vegetables. That way, a little bit of meat could feed a lot of people and still feel like a full, satisfying...

salmon bites in air fryer basket

Hi Reader, I've been eating a lot of salmon lately. It's pretty easy to cook, which is probably why I keep coming back to it. These salmon bites are what I make when I want something quick.

Get this Recipe Here's what I do: 🐟 I use a salmon seasoning most of the time, but any seasoning you prefer works. Sometimes I'll switch it up depending on what I have. 🐟 Air fry at...

jerk chicken and rice in pan

Hi Reader, If you need a dinner that actually fills people up without a bunch of pots to wash, this one-pot jerk chicken and rice is it. I love how flavorful it is, and I love that it combines jerk chicken and rice and peas, two of my favorite recipes, into one dish. The chicken cooks right in the rice, so everything gets flavored together. All you really need is a quick sear on the stovetop, and then you let the oven do its thing.
